51V NMR studies of systems V2O5-KHSO4 and V2O5?K2SO4

Systems V₂O₅–KHSO₄ and V₂O₅–K₂SO₄ have been studied by the⁵¹V NMR method. The first system demonstrates the same states of vanadium as the previously studied V₂O₅–K₂S₂O₇, in this system a compound with an equimolar ratio of components has been found. In V₂O₅–K₂SO₄ the state of vanadium differs from the above systems and the formation of a compound with V/K=4 is observed.

Kinetic studies of methylmercaptan production from dimethyl sulfide and H2S

Kinetic regularities of methylmercaptan production from dimethyl sulfide and H₂S in the presence of -Al₂O₃ have been studied under gradientless conditions. A stepwise reaction mechanism is suggested implying that the catalyst surface is methoxylated by methyl sulfide and then CH₃O groups interact with H₂S. The kinetic equation obtained describes fairly well this process on the nonhomogeneous catalyst surface. H₂S -Al₂O₃. , , CH₃O- H₂S. , .

TPD of ammonia from H-ZSM-5 zeolites deactivated during coupled methanol hydrocarbon cracking (CMHC)

The deactivation of H-ZSM-5 zeolite samples during coupled methanol/hydrocarbon cracking (CMHC) with n-butane as feed has been investigated in two different reaction modes (with intermediate regeneration and without regeneration). TPDA was used to characterize strong Brönsted acidity of fresh, regenerated and steamed H-ZSM-5 zeolite. The prevention of dealumination by blocking the acid centers with carbonaceous products could be proved, but the conversion rate of n-butane and the olefin selectivity declined drastically with increasing coking rate.

Kinetics of C2H4 polymerization on reduced V2O5/Al2O3 catalyst

Kinetic study of C₂H₄ polymerization on reduced V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ catalysts revealed that the rate equation can be expressed as V=k exp (-Y) K_aP_E/(1+K_aP_E) in the temperature range of –20 to 70°C.

Electronic spectral study of the interaction of CoNaX zeolite with C1?C5 hydrocarbons

Interaction of both satured and unsaturated hydrocarbons with tetrahedral Co²⁺ ion complexes lodged in the zeolite skeleton is reported on the basis of diffuse reflectance spectra. While saturated hydrocarbons do not affect the coordination sphere of the Co-complex, the unsaturated hydrocarbons change considerably the distortion of the tetrahedral Co-complex.

The oxygen equilibrium pressures from pure V₂O₅ and co-precipitated V₂O₅–TiO₂ system were measured in the range of 200–450 °C. The behavior of the equilibrium pressure with changes of temperature of the samples with and without TiO₂ is attributed to Ti⁴⁺ interaction with the V₂O₅ lattice.

Influence of the preparation method on the pore spectrum of Pt?Cr/Al2O3 and Pt?Sn/Al2O3 catalysts

It is shown that, in contrast to classical impregnation methods, in bimetallic catalyst production the texture of the carrier is stabilized by introducing the promoting ion on the surface of Pt/Al₂O₃ with vapors of CrO₂Cl₂ or SnCl₄. This is shown by a relatively slower decrease of the specific area and the volume of the pores upon calcination.

ESR measurements of concentration for strong surface acceptor centers on zeolites and Al2O3 using nitroxide radical TEMPON

A method to measure concentrations of strong surface acceptor centers on aluminosilicate catalysts by their titration with a solution of TEMPON (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxypiperidine-1-oxyl) is suggested. The concentration of these centers corresponds to that of CO test molecules for the strongest acceptor centers (_CO 2210 cm^–1) obtained using IR spectroscopy. It is shown that for ZSM-5 zeolites most of these centers are localized on their external surface.

Chemisorptive characterization of Mn2+ cation effects on fused iron-catalysts

Volumetric and pulse chemisorptions of carbon monoxide (CO) have been developed to characterize effects of Mn²⁺ cations on an industrial doubly promoted fused iron catalyst. Addition of Mn²⁺ cations induces an increase in Fe dispersity, Fe electronic density and stability of the Mn²⁺-containing iron catalyst, where the same increase is observed by XPS and SEM. These effects explain why the activity of Mn²⁺-containing iron catalysts is improved. Mn²⁺ , . Mn²⁺ Fe, Fe , XPS SEM. . Mn²⁺ .
